With Scena Theatre, Sara performed the title role in A Woman of No Importance.

"Sara has this ability to transform before your eyes. I've seen her age a decade in a second, or change genders with a single tilt of the head. This comes from building such a strong inner life for her characters. As her soul moves, so do we as audience members...her transformation is the catalyst for our own."​-Amber Paige McGinnis, director

"Sara is one of DC’s most accomplished actors. A company member of four DC area theatres, WSC/Avant Bard, Factory 449, Rorschach and the Klunch, Sara has been a fixture for a decade. She made her first big splash as Jackie in WSC’s The House of Yes, and since then racked up numerous credits, notably 4.48 Psychosis (Factory 449), Elizabeth in Mary Stuart, Orlando in Orlando, Desdemona in Othello (WSC/Avant Bard), and Closetland (Factory 449), among many others."

"Thanks to the expressiveness and poise of actress Sara Barker, this shipboard tableau is one of the most resonant moments in WSC Avant Bard's diverting and colorful 'Orlando.'"
